Portland's recovery is interesting. Id say the social functionality of the city was more intact post recession but people have more money post covid. The unemployment rate is ridiculously low and construction is high everywhere. For a city that's supposed to be living a beleaguered existence, people continue to pour money into the area. I see tons of newcomers and out of state license plates everywhere. Downtown proper is not good tho. With the passing of our drug legislation, Oregon has become the hot destination for American addicts. So there is that. Id rate the city 7/10, would move here again.
